JUST IN: An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 jolted the San Francisco area awake shortly before 3 a.m. on Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

since that clearly woke a lot of you up too, please tell the USGS about it here earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

4.6 so close to our house

That eq felt enormous

Ever been to Mare Island? Did you know a submarine sunk at the dock? My dad helped salvage it. The Laugh-In made fun of it. There’s a beer named after it. And I made a podcast episode about all that AND the metaphors it revealed about my son’s ADHD. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

Check out the behind the scenes trailer that we made for Field Trips and Sunken Ships, the bonus episode for That Sinking Feeling: Adventures in ADHD and Ship Salvage. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

Well, this looks intriguing … povmagazine.com/gold-bars-wh...

I’m always happy to read stories about lost art and families searching for the pieces. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

The post rejection query cookie eaten at 3:50am was pretty delicious.

Sometimes I can't decide which is worse: the rejection from the person who doesn't like your writing. Or the ghosting from the place where you submitted your writing. Honestly, they're both pretty awful.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Plus don’t forget whatever the land of querying agents might be called…the land of ghosts? The land of No Reply?

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

It should never be easier to access a gun than a vaccine.

Good.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

It's always nice to hear from listeners who have found That Sinking Feeling: Adventures in ADHD and Ship Salvage meaningful and that we did a solid job in weaving together the two topics. Be sure to download our bonus episode (Field Trips and Sunken Ships). #ADHD #podcast

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.

To the person who stole my sweatshirt and reusable water bottle while I ran stairs: You’re a jerk.

Episode 7 of That Sinking Feeling: Adventures in #ADHD and Ship Salvage tells the story of a nuclear submarine that sank just north of San Francisco, and the ramifications of a son purposefully peeing on the floor of a grade school bathroom. #podcast #storytelling podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

"Field Trips and Sunken Ships," the 7th episode of That Sinking Feeling is now available wherever you listen to your podcasts. This trailer gives you a quick sense of what the episode is about. Enjoy! #ADHD youtu.be/HfNqk3Jw83g?...

We pitched a panel idea for SXSW: 10 Things Podcast Production Taught Us About ADHD. But we need your vote to help give our idea some traction with the festival organizers. Vote here:

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

As we made our podcast about ADHD (and ship salvage) every interview subject would talk about all the experts they had consulted with other the years, and the list became absurdly long. New episode drops on August 12th!

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants. RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

I think one of the hardest leaps for potential listeners of That Sinking Feeling: Adventures in ADHD and Ship Salvage is the very idea that the two things work together….so it’s always rewarding when listeners are excited by the interwoven storytelling premise. Bonus episode drops on Tuesday (8/12)!

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.
